A Digital Health Intervention to Improve Physical Function and Wellness of Lung Cancer Survivors
NCT07227623 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The rationale for the proposed project is to improve the experience and outcomes of individuals diagnosed with lung cancer treated for cure. Survival rates in patients with stages I-III lung cancer continue to increase given progress in early detection and more effective treatments. However, the survivorship needs of this population are considerable and too often overlooked, especially with respect to their health behaviors, such as physical activity and nutrition, as well as persistent symptoms and side effects, including breathing difficulties and sleep disturbance. To ensure that as many patients as possible can access the information, support, and skills they require to navigate the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, the investigators worked with a multidisciplinary team to create a digital health intervention, called "PROMOTE." The investigators designed the PROMOTE mobile app for lung cancer survivors undergoing treatment to help them improve physical function, manage breathlessness and insomnia, increase physical activity, maintain a healthy diet, and enhance their overall wellbeing. To achieve the long-term goal to have PROMOTE become widely available to all lung cancer survivors, the next step in this research program is to conduct a randomized trial to demonstrate the benefits of the digital health intervention. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that, compared to patients receiving enhanced usual care, those assigned to PROMOTE will report improved physical function, less difficulty with breathlessness and sleep disturbance, increased physical activity, healthier eating behaviors, fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression, and better quality of life. The investigators also plan to examine whether PROMOTE leads to more effective coping and greater confidence in patients' ability to manage their health (i.e., self-efficacy). For this project, the investigators will enroll lung cancer survivors receiving care at an academic cancer center and two

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07227623
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07227623 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 250 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Massachusetts General Hospital, which has 1,948 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Physical Function appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Enhanced Usual Care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07227623 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
